Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I appreciate that the public service can be an easy target. I am simply affording the Minister an opportunity to explain to the public. I have a response to a parliamentary question, which refers to 16 people in the Minister's own office. I do not doubt the work they do. I take exception to the Minister's reference to the new right wing orthodoxy in Fine Gael. We continually get lambasted over the fact that we are beginning to ape Fianna Fáil. I do not know where we should go.
